Answer 2

I found a pretty easy workaround using css-grid. You could tweak the 250px to fit your use case.

.card-deck {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr));
    grid-gap: .5rem;
}

Bootstrap 4 card deck responsive

I tried to use the <container>, <row> and <col> to make it responsive, but you lose the

All the cards have the same height

feature of the card deck, if you do that. What you need is CSS:

.card-deck {
  margin: 0 -15px;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.card-deck .card {
  margin: 0 0 1rem;
}

@media (min-width: 576px) and (max-width: 767.98px) {
  .card-deck .card {
    -ms-flex: 0 0 48.7%;
    flex: 0 0 48.7%;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991.98px) {
  .card-deck .card {
    -ms-flex: 0 0 32%;
    flex: 0 0 32%;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 992px)
{
  .card-deck .card {
    -ms-flex: 0 0 24%;
    flex: 0 0 24%;
  }
}

Answer 4

Update 2019

It's hard to set the cards widths (responsive) with card-deck because it uses display:table-cell and width:1%.

I found it easier to make them responsive using the cards inside the Bootstap grid col-* and then you can use the grid viewport breakpoints. Enable Bootstrap's flexbox if you want the cards to be equal height like the card-deck.

Also, img-responsive has changed to img-fluid

Bootstrap 4.0.0

Flexbox is now the default, but there is still not a supported way to make responsive card-deck's. The recommended way is to use cards inside the grid:

Responsive cards using grid

Another way to make a responsive card-deck, is using responsive reset divs every x columns. This will force cards to wrap at specific breakpoints.

For example: 5 on xl, 4 on lg, 3 on md, 2 on sm, etc..

Simply drop h-100 class on cards in grid.

<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-sm-6 my-3">
    <div class="card h-100">
      <!-- full height -->
      <div class="card-header">Header 1</div>
      <div class="card-body">Body 1</div>
      <div class="card-footer">Footer 1</div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-6 my-3">
    <div class="card h-100">
      <!-- full height -->
      <div class="card-header">Header 2</div>
      <div class="card-body">Body 2 <br> 2a <br> 2b <br> 2c</div>
      <div class="card-footer">Footer 2</div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-6 my-3">
    <div class="card h-100">

      <div class="card-header">Header 3 <br> 3a</div>
      <div class="card-body">Body 3</div>
      <div class="card-footer">Footer 3 <br> 3a </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-6 my-3">
    <div class="card h-100">

      <div class="card-header">Header 2</div>
      <div class="card-body">Body 2 <br> 2a <br> 2b <br> 2c</div>

Here you go, http://codepen.io/KarlDoyle/pen/pypWbR

The main thing is that you have to override the styles. as shown below.

.card-deck {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: flex-start;
  flex-flow: row wrap; 
  align-items: stretch;
}
.card-deck .card {
  display: block;
  flex-basis: 33.3%; /* change this value for each breakpoint*/
}
